I've stayed at the Lemon Tree several times. It has been consistently nice - clean, quiet, lovely foliage-filled views from the balcony. The heating is easy to adjust. I will happily stay there again.

The Lemon Tree was good for our one night in Santa Barbara: clean, friendly front desk staff, well-located for where we wanted to go. Breakfast was somewhat limited (to high end options, which our waiter got confused) and not available until 8 AM.
